Signature

Most applications can be signed by the Head of Department, but others must be signed centrally, e.g. by the Head of Grants Office, KI President or the University Director, according to the delegation rules for KI.

For international funding applications requiring a Grants Office signature, provide an application assurance form signed by the Principal Investigator, Head of Department and Head of Administration.

For applications for one of KI's internal prioritisation processes, provide the application assurance form signed by the Head of Department.

Note that obtaining central signatures can take up to 5 working days.


Submit application

Applicants usually submit their own application.

However, US federal grant applications are submitted by Grants Office.
